Ok I have a little more than 2 weeks before I get this surgery over with. I have been wanting to do it for a while but then changed my mind years ago but become determined with the decision to do it after having my fourth baby. I am anxious, excited, and onervous bit I am so ready for a flat tummy, its been too long since I've had one.

Hi I was wondering why you need to have the lipo on the abs with the TT. I wonder if I need the same?
October 2, 2012
My PS said I had fat on my stomach and that the tummy tuck would not remove it all and that the tummy tuck would mainly target fixing my abdominal muscles and the tightening of my skin. He originally recommened me to also get lipo on the sides and the stomach but it was too pricey so he said that I could just get it on my stomach to get the flat look that I am looking for.

I have 10 days before my big day and a lot has been on my mind. I have a small hernia but my PS said he doesnt repair hernias but can still do my tummy tuck. Has anyone heard this before? I do trust his judgement and was just wondering how someone's outcome was. He did say after the surgery my hernia would be much better and i can get it repaired at a later time since its so small and not causing any problems.

Is it possible for you to get a recommendation from your PS for doc to repair your hernia while your getting TT. My PS recommended a doc that he works with. It actually saved me money because the hernia is covered by insurance and they are sharing the time for the anesthesia

My PS never mentioned it. He just kept saying the hernia was not going to be a problem because its so small. He said after the tummy tuck the hernia should be better and I may not need to have it repaired any time soon. I hope this is this case althought I cant help to think about it.

Hi Maria! are you feeling better now? I was going to go ahead with it this month but the minor percentage of death risk scares me. Can you please advise cause on the consent ,it was written"Death has been reported following abdominoplasty". My surgeon is a Cosmetic surgeon but some are Plastic surgeons

Roland, I stayed clear of reading about all the death risks. I didnt want to worry myself bc I wanted it done too bad. I think we are more at risk for a fatal car crash then anything else bc we are driving everyday so theres risk in everything. Thats how I look at it. Oh and My dr is a Plastic Surgeon.

Maria,
Thank you immensely for your prompt reply. The reason for my worry is that the said statement about that death has been reporting following that procedure was on the consent form I had to sign and submit to the surgeon.
Wishing you all the best
Roland

I have 9 more days left. I'm really ready to get it over with. I was wondering, I know your stomach looks flatter even with the swelling but can someone tell that you are wearing a compression garment under your clothes? Does your stomach appear smaller or larger with the garment on?

Hello Maria! I will be honest after my TT I was so in shock by how small I looked that the CG never made me feel bigger and I didn't appear to be bigger in my clothes either. Good luck by the way. I pray you have a speedy and comfortable recovery.
